! Caution 
We strongly recommend using genuine Brother toner cartridges. Using 
generic or refilled toner cartridges may void the warranty for this printer. 
Toner Nearly Empty Message 
Check printed pages, page counter, and display messages periodically. If 
the  indicator starts blinking (!), the printer has nearly run out of toner or 
the toner is not evenly distributed inside the cartridge. 
 
        
                  
*K stands for Black, C stands for Cyan, M stands for Magenta and Y stands 
for Yellow. 
Although you can print approximately 300 (Black) and 500 (Cyan, Magenta 
and Yellow) additional pages (at 5% coverage) after the toner low message 
first appears, be sure to replace the toner cartridge with a new one before it 
becomes completely empty. When this occurs, the  indicator on the LCD 
panel will disappear.

Replacing the Toner Cartridges 
! Caution 
When replacing the Toner Cartridges, handle them carefully so that toner 
does not spill. 
 
Note 
To ensure optimum print quality, use genuine Brother toner cartridges. Third 
party toner cartridges may not work in your printer. 
To obtain genuine Brother supplies, consult the dealer where you purchased 
the printer.  
 
To replace the toner cartridge(s), follow these steps:   
1.  Open the Front Cover of the printer. 
2.  Remove the Toner Cartridge(s) that has run out of toner. Pull the Toner 
Cartridge out slightly with one hand, then hold the Toner Cartridge with 
both hands and pull it out of the printer. 
3.  After rocking each new Toner Cartridge 3 to 4 times from side to side, 
remove the tape labeled ‘REMOVE’ and the orange protective cover from 
the new Toner Cartridge.

! Caution 
 Insert the toner cartridges gently into the printer. Do not try to lock 
them into place by pushing them. Toner cartridges should rest loosely 
in the guide rails; they will be correctly positioned when the front cover 
is closed. 
 The printer may be damaged or may not work correctly if you install 
consumables other than genuine Brother supplies or if you use refilled 
toner cartridges. This could void your warranty. 
 Do not stand the toner cartridge on its end or turn it upside down. 
 Install the toner cartridges immediately after you remove the 
protective cover. Do not touch the shaded area shown below:
